Our plane at the gate... it's Shamu One! I found this excerpt at the Southwest website:

"1988: Southwest Airlines and Sea World of Texas join fins to promote Texas as a major tourist attraction. Through the "New Friends" campaign, Southwest becomes Sea World of Texas' official airline and creates Shamu One, a Boeing 737 painted like Shamu the killer whale. Later in the year, Southwest becomes the official airline of Sea World of California. And Southwest wins the first Triple Crown:Best On-Time Record, Best Baggage Handling, and Fewest Customer Complaints. "

A better shot of Shamu... it's the best I could get.

The sign at the gate... we're on time!

Us on the plane!

Looking a little drugged... it's the Tylenol P.M kicking in.

In flight! Hooray! Shamu flies pretty well for a whale.

In flight....Pilot says we're cruising at 37,000.. wow!

Still in flight...

STILL in flight...

Pretty clouds...

In flight...

Here's when the pilot announced we were flying over Raleigh-Durham, NC...

Raleigh again...

Right after touchdown at BWI! Rough landing... but I made it!
